The age rating for Black Swan generated the most complaints to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in 2011, the ratings body has revealed.

The erotically charged thriller, rated 15 in the UK, generated 40 complaints from audiences.

According to the BBFC's annual report, "some complainants had expected to see a film about ballet".

What ruffled the feathers of most complainants, according to the BBFC, was a sex scene between two female characters.

"While the scene is visually discreet, narratively justified and within the 15 guidelines criteria, some correspondents felt it was pornographic in nature," the report reads.

"That it was a sex scene between two women was an aggravating factor for some who argued that portrayals of homosexual activity should either be restricted to the 18 category, or not shown at all.

"The high number of complaints for Black Swan demonstrates the disconnect that sometimes occurs between a viewer's expectations of a film and its actual content."

Oh, no, y'see violence and gore are fine. People enjoying themselves isn't.

particularly not when they're of the same sex, for those people who object in the first place.

I do wonder if people are instantly outraged by such things, or have to realise they should be before they complain.

Like all the councils than banned Life Of Brian without even seeing it.

There was a myth that Aberystwyth had banned it. Sue Jones-Davies, who played Judith, was mayor of Aber between 2008-2009
